The MSOGB is monitoring the situation with the COVID-19 virus. As state agencies receive further information and directives, we will update everyone accordingly.

In the meantime, please limit your visits and the visits of your staff to only essential matters at this time. If you, or anyone living under your roof, or a family member with whom you have had direct contact within the last week has traveled outside of the county, been on a cruise, traveled to the West Coast, or visited highly populated resort destinations (i.e., Disney World, Six Flags, etc.) within the past 14 days, please do not visit the MSOGB office at this time. If you have had a fever within the past 24 hours, have a cough or are experiencing flu-like symptoms, please also avoid the MSOGB office at this time.

Like other state agencies, we want to implement basic safety protocols for our staff members and clients. We will stay in contact with the State leadership and will provide updates as we receive them.

If you need immediate attention or should you have any questions, do not hesitate to call (601-576-4900) or email us.
Thank you.
